Dutch term or phrase: een Grote Toekomst tegemoet
Obviously this this phrase means basically "facing a Great Future" or "into a Grand Future" or something along those lines. What I'd like help with specifically is ideas on what the capital letters on "Grote Toekomst" are communicating and if this is possibly a pop culture reference? Also, is "Grand Future" the best way to translate it?

The context is in a novel. A girl is imagining how people say goodbye in old Hollywood movies where the star heads out to a waiting plane without looking back, "een Grote Toekomst tegemoet."

Thanks in advance for any help!
